Minwax 356150000 One Coat Polyurethane Protective Wood Finish, Clear Semi-Gloss, Quart

I built a new bookcase out of pine planks and a finished plywood back. After one coat of Danish oil, I put on two coats of the Minwax One Coat. It went on very smoothly and with a little caution no runs at all. I could have probably gotten away with one coat but two coats seemed to give it a little deeper finish look. Clean up was super easy and I’ll get a lot more use out of my brush. I am pleased with the results and product. I’m glad not to have to put on 10 coats of Danish oil. For this project it was perfect.

Super impressed, one coat, looks great. Goes on milky of white, but dries crystal clear. Dries fast…. Or faster than urethane anyway.

Applied to factory sanded face grade “A” plywood after vacuuming and wiping down with a damp cloth. I noticed that going against the grain the cloth drug a bit on fibers not visible. Coat one was dry to the touch in less than 2 hours but had a slightly bumpy surface. Next day I hand sanded lightly with 240 grit ,vacuumed and damp clothed the surface. After inspecting for any remaining rough spots the last coat was Applied with a smooth gloss result. I will use this product again.

Used the product on a few different projects. Has a good sheen but I had to work fast to get it on and smooth. I think it dries way too fast, left a lot of brush marks. I'm going back to oil base

Sand between coats with steel wool and the coating looks like glass over the wood grain

As you can see in this picture, I used that to finish my vintage cabinet. Applied over chalk paint, using a roller and paint brush. Soft touch, no glare.

Being the first time using a water based polyurethane product, I'd say it worked okay. One coat gave a nice even coverage, and clean up was easy. Very little, if any odor (one of the reasons I wanted to switch from oil based). I didn't attempt to see how a second coat would work since I was using the satin finish type of this product.

Streaked, very thick . Dried as fast as I put it on and was very noticeable . Did not dry smooth

The product is really good for my art work but I think it is quite expensive for the amount you get. I will run out of it quite quickly. Otherwise, as a product, I would recommend it.
